sense the plant doesnt eat chlorophyll and if im understanding it correctly, is why we dont have a smell immediately, would using just water until all the leaves fall off do anything positive at the end of the cycle?
No, a quick flush and whole plant hang is all you need for the best flavor. long flushes just starve the plants.

I took two of the same strain and cut one up into single branches and hung them individually and then hung the entire other plant. There was a 180 degree difference in taste and smell. The first one smelled and tasted like hay and dried enough to jar in 72 hours. The entire plant I hung never lost it's strong kush smell and tasted like any high powered funk should. I'll never do it differently from here on out.

a friend of mine told me if my buds are still crispy in a few days, lay them in Tupperware with lettuce underneath the buds for a day? To bring out any excess in buds, has anyone heard this? Or is he full of shit?

I call full of shit. Put them in a container and the moisture will even out. Only thing I've heard even close is adding a fan leave to a jar to help rehydrate over dried buds slightly. This will not help taste or smell though, once moisture drops below 60% or so once, the bud is 'done', no matter how much u try to rehydrate.

i have heard of people grind down apple peels and add it in with weed to rehydrate it and makes the weed taste like apples

Rehydrating the jar doesn't restart the cure, in only makes your buds moist again. At least that is what I'm reading everywhere, but I don't understand why.

Would be like a 3 week flush at least. IMO that would be depriving the plant for two long.

And I get smell immediately. Its actually so strong I constantly run 2 filters and its still a issue.
